Viva la Mexico!

Mexico and Rocky Point in particular were not at the top of the list for RV trips this early in our investment.  This was mostly due to us wanting to learn the ropes of the RV before traveling too far, or out of the country.  However, it’s Winter in Arizona, and RV reservations are hard to come by, so we said what the heck and headed down.

We knew exactly where we wanted to reserve space:  Wrecked at the Reef (on Sandy Beach.)  We have been going to Rocky Point for 18 years now and have always gone to Wrecked (Restaurant & Bar) but kept an eye on the RV Campground as well.  Out of three possible locations to go to, Wrecked is by far the best campground for Ocean View, physical space, and maneuverability!  While Playa Bonita is the most well-known RV Resort in Rocky Point, we found that we would not have even been able to get our RV into any of the sites they had to offer.  Most of the RVer’s in Playa were very long-term renters, and their RVs were all very close together and cramped.

When we put our garage ramp down (this in effect becomes a back deck), we were literally on the beach, and overlooking the Ocean.  A spectacular view.  We were also within walking distance to the restaurant, and the small store they had onsite.

  

 

Anyone who knows US (me in particular), also knows that I am a die-hard Roger Clyne (and the Peacemakers) fan.  January Jam has become one of my favorite weekends that he performs in Rocky Point, and this weekend was no exception.  We met up with our long-time best friends and enjoyed three days of great music, great food, and great camping. 

Although this doesn’t quite fall into the category of “lessons learned”, one thing we have still not figured out is RV protocol.  Especially when it comes to neighbors.  On this trip, we were sandwiched between 2 families camping together. Originally, we were going to switch spots with one of the families, but as it turns out, both neighbors were VERY EARLY to bed people (followed by super early risers.)  Our timing was never such that we could coordinate the move. The mornings were slightly awkward as the people would have to walk under our back deck (which we were sitting on) to visit with each other. Is the protocol to keep waving?  Join in their conversation (as their campfire on the beach was right there by us?) I’m sure we will learn how to be proper neighbors over time….
